COUNCILOR Mark Anthony Santos of Las Piñas' first district filed his certificate of candidacy (CoC) for the city's lone congressional seat on Sunday, marking the start of what he described as the 'toughest and hardest battle' of his political career.
Running as an independent candidate, Santos is taking on a formidable opponent in Sen. Cynthia Villar, setting the stage for a David-and-Goliath showdown in the May 2025 midterm elections.
